Controversial plans for 500 new homes, retail shops, and offices, in Cheltenham have been outlined to residents by Redcliffe Homes.

The developer wants to build the homes between Up Hatherley Way and Chargrove Lane on a 27.7 hectare site and has asked people in the area to comment.

As well as the homes, Redcliffe says the development – that would be called Chargrove Orchard – would have a new orchard planted, public open space, play areas, allotments, ponds and a central village green.

Rural Chargrove Lane would be 'downgraded' and the developer said there would be a "tree-lined primary route for extended bus services".
